"Haha, thank you, but you are wrong, that is not my house, that is our future house. Shushu, the main reason why I was able to get a house is because I won a third-class merit last time, and you deserve half of the credit. I have little experience, so I can only get the smallest house, with one bedroom and one living room, about 45 square meters, not as big as yours, so don't think it is too small." Yang Xiaobei was afraid that Jiang Shushu would look down on the 45-square-meter house, and he was also afraid that Jiang Shushu would have an opinion. After all, such a small house would be very crowded if four people lived in it.
"Why would I think it's too small? 45 square meters isn't small, it's more than enough for me to live in. There are many houses smaller than 45 square meters out there. Some people work seven or eight years to get a house, but you've been working for less than two years and you've been able to get a 45 square meter house. That's quite remarkable, very outstanding."
Yang Xiaobei couldn't suppress his smile when he saw that the things he cherished were liked and praised by others.
"Haha... as long as you like it." What Yang Xiaobei wanted most since he was a child was to own a house of his own. As long as it was his house, no matter how big it was, Yang Xiaobei liked it and would feel proud to own a house.
"Shushu, do you prefer downstairs or upstairs? I can try to find a house you like when the time comes." You can't decide the size of the house, but the location is fine. If I can't choose, I'll change. At most, I can just give you more gifts.
"What about you? Do you prefer downstairs? Or upstairs?" After all, this is Yang Xiaobei's first house in his life, so it's better to let Yang Xiaobei choose for himself. He can live in it anyway.
"I'm not picky about this. As long as it's a house, I like it no matter where it is. Shushu, you choose. Pick a location you like. I want you to live comfortably." Even if you won't live here forever.
"Then I say, if you can choose upstairs, choose it. After all, the first floor is too humid, and the upstairs is relatively quiet. It is best to choose neighbors who are more reasonable above, below, left, right, front and back." If you meet a disgusting neighbor next door, no matter how good the house is, it will be miserable to live in.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. When I have time, I'll go ask the neighbors next to the one-bedroom apartment about what they're like."
"Shushu, I want to ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"If the room here is ready after we get married, will you...will you move in and live here?" Deep down in his heart, Yang Xiaobei still hoped that his wife could live in her own house.
"I will live in both places. This is what I think. The house on my side is bigger. If my parents come to Q City to play and stay for a few days, or if they want to sleep in during the holidays, we can live there. We can live here on weekdays. After all, we finally got a house with great difficulty. We can't leave it empty and let others find a chance to take it back. Otherwise, when we have children in the future, this house really won't be enough to live in." Buying another house would be too conspicuous. Before the reform and opening up, they could only have one house each in their name. No more, definitely not, otherwise the houses in their hands would become hot potatoes.
Yang Xiaobei was happy when he heard that he would have a child in the future. In just 30 seconds, Yang Xiaobei could think about the child's life.
If Shushu and I had a child, the child would definitely be very beautiful.
"What Shushu said makes sense. I'll listen to you and we'll take turns living there."
The next day, Yang Xiaobei came to the Public Security Bureau in high spirits, holding five big meat buns in his hands.
He found Zhao Laifu with a smile on his face, "Laifu, here, have some buns. Look at you, you've lost weight recently."
Zhao Laifu: "..." Can you lie so openly? I've clearly gained several pounds. Ever since my breakup, I've been eating everything and enjoying everything. I've even slept through the night, feeling incredibly refreshed. Plus, my parents and sisters thought I was deeply hurt and needed to eat some meat to make up for it, so they gave me all their meat coupons. I couldn't stop them. I eat so much meat, and you still say I'm skinny?
"Xiaobei, just tell me what's the matter, otherwise I won't feel at ease eating your buns." Not only would it be uncomfortable to spit it out, but it would also be a waste!
Yang Xiaobei planned to flatter him first, "As expected of my brother, you're really smart..."
"Get to the point." I can't help you, no matter how much you brag.
"In our bureau, when it comes to speaking skills, you're second in line. No one dares to be first. I need a small favor from you. It only requires talking, no hands required. Is that okay?"
"No need to flatter me, just get to the point."
"I'd like you to help me find out about the personalities of the neighbors who live next to each other in one-bedroom apartments, as long as they're not on the first floor."
When Zhao Laifu heard it was just a small matter, he took the bun with confidence and took a big bite. "It's really a meat bun, it's delicious. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. I'll go to my eldest sister's house as soon as I get off work. There's no one in that area that my eldest sister doesn't know, so I'll make sure I can tell you everything clearly."
"Thank you, and thank you for your trouble. I'll treat you to a meal in a few days."
"Really? Can you add meat?" The meat was finally delivered to my door, so I can't give up. My requirements are not high, just a few slices for me to taste will be fine.
"Yes, I'll order you a full meat dish."
Zhao Laifu was thrilled when he heard about the meat-free menu. He hadn't eaten meat ten days ago, and if he hadn't been stuffed with a bun, his mouth would have been drooling. "Brother, I'm so generous! I'll help you gather information as quickly as possible so you can choose the perfect house. Just wait for my news. It'll be all clear in two days at most."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Yang Xiaobei looked at Zhao Lai Fu eating the meat buns in big mouthfuls and smiled helplessly.
Zhao Laifu has a habit that no one can persuade him to change (he once changed it for Li Tiantian, who loved meat, but since their breakup, he's reverted to it). He habitually eats the good stuff first, then moves on to the things he doesn't want to eat. His motto is to enjoy the food first, and then just be alive. Every month, Zhao Laifu collects his meat coupons, which can only stay in his possession for a maximum of five days. So, Zhao Laifu says, he can only eat comfortably for five days a month.
Zhao Lai Fu went to his eldest sister's house as soon as he got off work to help Yang Xiaobei find out some news. Then the next day, Yang Xiaobei received a notebook.
"Here, we've already done the research. Take a look for yourself. There are 17 households in total."
"Thank you." Yang Xiaobei opened his notebook. The information was very detailed. Not only was the location of each room marked, but the neighbors were also introduced in great detail, including their personalities, relationships, jobs, and the number of people...
"The information is very detailed. Thank you for your hard work. I'll keep this notebook and bring you a new one tomorrow, okay?"
